Half Man Half Biscuit - The Trumpton Riots lyrics

Ner ner-ner-ner ner-ner-ner ner Ner ner-ner-ner-ner-ner No! Oh oh oh! Elevate! Unemployment's rising In the Chigley end of town. And it's spreading like pneumonia; Doesn't look like going down. There's trouble at the fire station; Someone's had the sack. And the lads are going to launch a scheme To get rid of Captain Flack Tell PC McGarry To get himself a mate. And arm themselves with C.S.Gas They're gonna be out late. We've had Cant conformism since 1966. And now subversions in the air In the shape of flying bricks! Chorus: Someone get a message through To Captain Snort That they better start a**embling The boys from the fort. And keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight, 'Cause there's gonna be riot Down in Trumpton Tonight. All this aristocracy Has really got to stop. We can overthrow the surgery And kidnap Doctor Mop And Chippy Minton's Socialists Could storm the market square And make plans to a**a**inate Our autocratic mayor! Windy Militant leads His Basque-like corn grinders to war With windmill sails and bombs with nails They smash the town hall door. But Snorty and the boys arrive With one big erstwhile crew Whereupon they bring about A military coup. Chorus x 2
